FOR RESTAURANTS & CAFES

You're slammed on the line. Your POS already has the numbers. They just don't agree with each other yet.

GuildHall helps owner-run restaurants, cafes, bars, and bakeries in Kansas City and Fort Wayne make sense of the data they already generate: POS sales, labor punches, food costs, and delivery-platform payouts that rarely tell the same story. It starts with a free 30-minute discovery call. Most clients work with us through the Partnership; the $500 Trial, one real question answered with a written result, is there if you'd rather see proof first.

Why don't my delivery-app numbers match what my POS says I sold?

Because DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub each report on their own schedule, after their own commission, refunds, and promo deductions come out, and none of that math happens inside your POS. So the POS shows one number for the night, three delivery-app dashboards show three others, and reconciling them by hand takes longer than most owners have.

The data to answer this already exists. It's just scattered across four logins that don't talk to each other. Pulling POS sales and delivery-platform payouts into one number you can actually compare, for one week or one month, is exactly the kind of focused question a Trial is built to answer.

Is my labor schedule actually matching how busy we are?

Your POS knows your cover counts and sales by hour, and your scheduling tool knows exactly who's clocked in when, but almost nobody puts those two side by side. Most schedules get built off gut feel and last week's memory, not what the data both systems are already saying about where the rushes actually are.

That gap shows up as overtime on slow nights and being short-staffed on busy ones. The data to catch it is already sitting in two systems you already pay for; it just hasn't been lined up against each other.

Why does my food cost number never match what's actually on the shelf?

Your POS can calculate a theoretical food cost from your recipes and sales mix. What's actually in your walk-in almost never matches that number, and the gap, waste, over-portioning, a vendor price change nobody caught, shrinkage, is real money most owners can feel but can't point to.

Closing that gap doesn't require new software. It requires comparing the theoretical number your POS already produces against an actual count, on a schedule you can keep up with, so the variance stops being a mystery and starts being a number you track.

Do I need to buy new software to get real reporting out of my restaurant?

Usually not. Your POS, your scheduling tool, and your delivery-platform dashboards are already generating real, usable data: the problem is almost never a missing tool. It's that the numbers live in separate logins nobody has time to pull together into one picture worth trusting.

That's the work we do: we configure and connect the systems you already have. We don't build you custom software, and we're not selling a new platform to replace what's already running your restaurant.

What happens on the free call, and what does the $500 Trial actually get me?

The free 30-minute call is a fit check. We look at what systems you're running and what question matters most right now. If it's not a fit, we'll say so on the call, and we won't take your money.

The $500 Trial is one focused engagement. We answer a single real question from your actual data (delivery payouts versus POS, labor against your covers, theoretical versus actual food cost) and hand you a plain written result. Building the ongoing version of that picture across your whole operation, alongside advisory and configuration, is what the Partnership does: that's the main way we work, and plenty of restaurants start there straight from the call.

Will you take over my POS or delivery accounts?

No. We never take ownership of your data or your accounts. We work inside the systems you already log into: your POS, your delivery dashboards, your scheduling tool, using your own logins, not ours.

Every engagement starts with scope in writing: what we'll touch, what we won't, and what "done" looks like, before any work begins. Kyle covers the Kansas City metro; Chris covers Fort Wayne.

Common questions

What does the $500 Trial actually include?

One focused engagement. We answer a single real question about your restaurant's data, for example, whether your delivery-app payouts match your POS, or where your labor is running against your covers, and hand you a plain written result. It's proof of the work; the ongoing picture is what the Partnership builds.

What's the Partnership, and what does it cost?

The Partnership is the main way we work: an ongoing engagement where operations advisory, setup and configuration, and reporting and analytics all run at once. It starts at $500 a month and scales with the scope you need: a flat monthly fee, never hourly, month-to-month with 30 days' written notice to leave. Half of what you paid for the Trial credits toward your first Partnership invoice, whenever you're ready.

Do you take ownership of my POS or accounting data?

No, never. Your data and your accounts stay exactly where they are, under your own logins. We work inside your systems; we don't take custody of anything.

What if my restaurant's data is too messy to work with right now?

That comes up on the free call. If a Trial doesn't make sense yet, we'll say so before any money changes hands, and getting the numbers to where they can be trusted is exactly the kind of work the Partnership covers.

Do you only work with restaurants in Kansas City and Fort Wayne?

No, those are our two home metros (Kyle in Kansas City, Chris in Fort Wayne), but the work is remote and we take on restaurants nationwide. We focus on owner-run, single-location spots: restaurants, cafes, bars, bakeries, and coffee shops.

Grab a free 30-minute call. We'll look at what data you've already got and whether it can answer the question you're asking.

Thirty minutes, free, no commitment. If it's not a fit, we'll say so.
